PREMIO NAZIONALE GENTILE DA FABRIANO a Lorenzo Antonelli - Italiaby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
 Lorenzo Antonelli è stato insignito del "24 ° Premio Nazionale Gentile da Fabriano" (foto sopra), che è la prima volta che un produttore di componenti per fisarmoniche è stato selezionato per questo prestigioso premio consegnatogli il 10 ottobre al Teatro Gentile Fabriano. Invito: 2020Fabriano.pdfUn video seguirà nella prossima edizione delle news. XXIV EDIZIONE 2020 Sezione “Officina marchigiana” Lorenzo Antonelli è Presidente e Amministratore Delegato di “Voci Armoniche”. L’azienda, fondata nel 1935 a Osimo dal nonno Luigi, è nel distretto marchigiano che da più di un secolo produce fisarmoniche. Le voci sono il cuore, il principio sonoro, l’elemento fisico essenziale delle fisarmoniche. Si tratta di assemblati metallici di altissima precisione che generano il suono attraverso il flusso d’aria. I mercati richiedono oggi visione, coraggio di cambiare, energia e competenza. Lorenzo Antonelli, dopo la laurea e il Master in gestione aziendale, si è formato nei più avanzati metodi organizzativi. Dal 2012 ha iniziato una riorganizzazione a tutto campo per adattare l’azienda alle attuali sfide e attraverso la scelta del 100% fatto in Italia. Ha saputo prendere dall'artigiano e dall'industria il meglio delle rispettive specificità, in una sintesi che può definirsi manifattura d'eccellenza. Lorenzo Antonelli ha coniugato il sapere della tradizione di una officina marchigiana con i più avanzati metodi organizzativi e tecnico - produttivi, creando un sistema di competenze strutturato e realizzando una bellezza del suono che dalle Marche conquista il mondo. Il Presidente della Giuria / Prof. Vilberto Stocchi |

Global Accordion Project Orchestra, Nuove commissioni - Regno Unitoby Alison Worthington |
 Video: video più recente di GAPO - Horizon composto da Ian WatsonLa Global Accordion Project Orchestra (GAPO) fondata da Ian Watson (foto a sinistra - direttore musicale) e Sam Cullen (primo bassista) della London Accordion Orchestra stanno assicurando un'ultima volta nel 2020 in cui potremo riunirci tutti per la musica. GAPO sta commissionando a Ian Watson la scrittura di una nuova colonna sonora per questa esperienza. Il pezzo intitolato “The Challenge of Time” (La sfida del tempo) possiamo essere d'accordo, riassume il 2020. Non è la sfida dell'indicazione del tempo, ma conterrà alcuni ritmi impegnativi (ma non troppo impegnativi). Sono aperte le commissioni per essere un membro dell'orchestra (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond). Tuttavia, poiché è un periodo dell'anno impegnativo, puoi essere un commissario senza registrarti e sarai menzionato nel video finale e nella partitura stampata. "È stato fantastico essere supportato da fisarmonicisti di tutto il mondo. Sto cercando di introdurre nuova musica fresca nella scena dell'orchestra di fisarmoniche ed essere supportato in questo modo è stato incredibile!" Ian Watson, ottobre 2020.
